Kamala Harris 2020 campaign megathread

[Some of My Best Friends Are Gay]

She's losing in SC,IA and NH due to WWC voters and SC is a must win for her.
Biden, past will come back up, with sexual invasion. Bernie is sitting in the middle

This line is deeply unsettling and the mental image I got from it is even moreso.

SC isnt sure thing for Harris which was supposed to be her kickoff state to NV and Cali

Kamala Harris is not ready for prime time

Based on what, exactly? God you people are insufferable. She and Warren were the only ones laying out specific policy plans last night and apparently she's not ready for primetime. Lemme guess, you think boy wonder Pete is?

Sanders, for all his faults, has much more extensive policy proposals than Harris does. It's just that few of them are feasible.

Reminds me of an obscure Mexican horror flick called "The Infernal Rapist".

Her VP should be a Sherrod Brown, but NOT Sherrod Brown so Dems don't lose a Senate seat lol

Mayor Pete would be a amazing VP candidate if Kamala prevails as the candidate.

Mayor Pete would be a amazing VP candidate if Kamala prevails as the candidate.

I'm not sure if America's ready to elect a ticket consisting of a (half) black woman and an openly gay man in 2020, even putting aside my ideological differences with Harris and Buttigieg.

Trump voters weren't going to vote for the Democratic ticket in the first place. Buttigieg is a white guy and that should have him appeal to Sanders/Biden voters who are worried about the Dems trending left on social justice issues. It's the amount of right appeal to the voter's base that will help turnout for the November election.

You know nothing about Bernie voters.

The number of Sanders supporters who would feel uncomfortable voting for Harris solely because of her race and/or gender is so minuscule it's not even worth discussing, and Buttigieg isn't going to appeal to us just because he's a white man, lol.

That statement is mind-bogglingly dumb and tinged with a slight hint of racism, unless I'm reading it wrong.

Many Sanders supporters second choice is Joe Biden, the epitome of establishment politics, and as worse on the issues they care than Hillary Clinton.

[Scrumtrulescent]

I love how, since January, we've gone from:

1. "Bernie Bros suck"
2. "Bernie voters suck"
3. "Bernie voters have Biden as their #2 choice"
4. "While we're at it, Buttigieg voters suck"
5. "Bernie & Biden (& Pete) voters only care about white people"

in like 4 months.

 . . . You literally said "Sanders supporters will vote for Biden because he's white."

I can't believe I am defending Harris, but this is beyond parody.

I made a post about this a few pages back and why it isn't a big deal too. Harris really can't do anything without hyperbolic criticism.

There are legitimate things to criticise her for. Owning a gun (and a handgun at that) is not one of them.

Sure, I don't oppose every criticism of her. It's just that there tend to be a lot of inconsequential ones coming up like her being anachronistic over what kind of music she listened to in college. I'll never get over that one.

Jim Margolis joining her team.

It doesn't matter, she needs to come close in an early primary state, like NV or SC and now Bernie is kneck and kneck with Biden in SC and NV

South Carolina would be ground territory to start fleshing her challengers away. Just mentioned Bernie tone-deaf racial comments or Biden's past bill votes and she'll start to gain ground with the constituency that will put our nominee against Trump.

This will come. People are still acting like the votes are cast tomorrow.

Harris had been polling 5% ever since the Biden surge.  So, its not like she has been close since, she was the frontrunner in March, in these poll.

Bernie has been in second in most of these polls and had a bump before Biden made the announcement.

Californians are looking at other candidates. The only superdelegate to go out of his way to support Harris was Newsom. Rendell is supporting Biden

The "Biden surge" -- which literally just happened a few days ago. If anything, that should tell you that everything is very volatile in the primary electorate (something no one should need to be told) and essentially no one is committed to their candidate, and events will inevitably overtake all of the candidates.

I am certain that someone other than Joe Biden will lead multiple national polls at some point before the Iowa caucuses. That doesn't mean Biden won't ultimately win (or even be leading nationally at the time of the Iowa caucuses), but it does emphasize how ridiculous looking at poll movements (or even poll positions, beyond candidates who are clearly struggling to gain traction at 0-1%) at this stage in the game is.
